Description & Goals

Summary

The Record Activity provides a simple application for:

• Taking pictures
• Recording video
• Recording audio
• Stop-motion photography See Animation
• Time-lapse photography
• Creating 360 panoramas
• Viewing slide shows

Goals

The "Record" activity uses the built in camera and microphone to let children record and share their pictures, videos, and audio files. One of the cool things about sharing on the xo is that it happens effortlessly -- when you take a picture with one xo it shows up on both your and your friends' xos too. In this way, we envision classrooms of children working together to document their neighborhoods.

Collaboration

The Record activity supports collaboration through both the Invitation mechanism and the Share-with-Neighborhood mechanism. In both cases, the collaboration manifests itself in sharing of still photos. As each participant in the collaboration takes photos, videos, or audios thumbnails of these media appear in the trays of every participant, where they can be saved and viewed. Note that Record does not support real-time sharing of video or audio.

Development

Raw

According to spec sheets for the ccd and the camera controller, both are capable of shooting and capturing in RAW format. I'm not sure what could/should be done with this, but it's a very fascinating possibility.
